Asmitty started the topic Craig Smith Fired Today in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 months, 3 weeks ago
News breaking that Coach Smith has been let go. The timing is a bit surprising but truthfully, I think that if we want to be great, this is what had to be done. I know Mark Harlan gets a lot of heat, and he deserves some of it, but I think this was a tougher decision to make financially, so I applaud him for being willing to do it. Now let’s go g…[Read more]

Any team (not named Ohio State, Oregon, etc.) playing QB 2 all season will lose some games. Any team playing a true freshman as QB 2 will lose more games. Any team also playing QBs 3 through 5 will lose even more.
With that, I am not convinced Utah’s football program is “in decline”. Not yet anyway given that it all points to the QB position.…[Read more]

I am hopeful that our football team will be better this year. If for no other reason than because Cam isn’t going to be not playing any games next season (no, I did not have a stroke, and neither did you). We won’t have the distraction of Cam’s will he/won’t he nonsense that we’ve been dealing with for the last two years. We needed to make a big…[Read more]

I’m with Tony here. Horrible luck happens. The team is positioned to be among the top teams in the Big 12 this season. I actually think the D’line could be better this season. We need to establish depth at tackle but there are three solid tackles in place. Logan Fano is a terrific anchor at one defensive end spot and there is a lot of talent vying…[Read more]

How do you know our D-Line and DB’s are not very good for 2025? Projecting much?

Any program not in the Big Ten or SEC is headed in the wrong direction. We may just be one of the many examples of that.

It’s hard to tell about 2025 yet proud Ute. We looked better on paper last year and lost 7 in a row. QB was the glaring weakness along with a complicated offense that nobody seemed to grasp. The new offense should be more player friendly and easier to learn.
I expect a different mindset with players and coaches. ASU and BYU have the targets on t…[Read more]

I think you are right – I think for better or worse we are at the mercy of Kyle’s whims on whether or not he wants to come back at the end of each and every season. With that uncertainty it will be hard for us to recruit and keep top talent.
Kyle is the main reason we have become relevant but if he stays too long he could also be part of the…[Read more]

I don’t think Miller will play second fiddle. Dream come true if both Jensen and Miller came back. Johnny Bryant is a sleeper. He has become a star development coach and has a great reputation in the NBA.
All talented players want to play in the NBA. Having a coach that is experienced in player development at the NBA level would be a big recruiting tool.

I still believe with a healthy Worster along side Devon down the stretch, we would have been in the tourney last year.

Our football and basketball programs are not good. This has been the case in basketball for many years and now football is headed in the wrong direction. I know that I/we need to be careful about judging the football program based on the last two seasons. However, last season was a total debacle. Yes, we had injuries, and everybody else did…[Read more]

Hard to believe we couldn’t make the tournament last year. This year record is similar to last year in a better conference and without Smith and Carlsen.

Miller needs to be involved in some way. If. It as HC, he should at least be an assistant coach/assoc head coach.

There’s no scenario in my mind where I can even contemplate either Gonzaga or SMC having the ability to outbid Utah.
I guarantee you that Gonzaga is deploying more NIL money in men’s basketball than Utah is. John Stockton’s NIL contribution alone is going to be more money than Utah’s total spend.

I would hope Alex Jensen and Johnny Bryant are at the top of the list.

Deivon looked like the best player on the team to me- granted I was only able to see them play in person once. It was the Iowa NIT game and Deivon was very good.
Madsen and Deivon would be a solid duo and the team would be significantly better.
Utah will not compete until it has funding to keep its best players as an absolute minimum. Enough…[Read more]

It certainly is appropriate that we lost on a turnover instead of a missed shot.

Those schools don’t put their NIL funds into football. They all go into BB.

If what you say is true, I hope Smith is dismissed after this season. Only because I’d LOVE to have Andre take over and get the bigger boosters involved. It sounds like that’s precisely what we need at this point.
So I’m fully on board with Andre for next year. I’d imagine that’s probably Harlan’s plan if it’s that cut and dried with Andre ready…[Read more]

It will be a former Ute from the Majerus era. Alex Jensen or Andre Miller.
Jensen might still be holding out for an NBA HC gig but his star is not as bright as it once was. If he sees his HC future is not in the NBA he might be interested in coming back to Utah.
Miller wants the job and was ready to take it last season. The timing wasn’t r…[Read more]
